30 YEARS TO LIFE - Slash
E|E|------------------------------------------------------------------
E|-------------||
Tabbed by: Gu1tar K1d
E-mail: mussyjunior@hotmail.co.uk
Tuning: E Flat
This tab will write out each individual section in the order that they
first come up within the
tab, then have a structure list at the bottom, so you know where each
bit goes once you've
learned it.
This song has just been released as a single on iTunes (not in Europe
yet, but in the U.S -
here's hoping), so I thought I'd jump on the case before anyone else
did. It's badass.
Happy playing. \o/

This sequence should be played with an actual slide if you have one.
Back off slightly on
the distortion you intend to use for the majority of the song.

I'm not totally sold on the last set of harmony notes, as they don't
too much sense in my head
even though they sound bang on. So let me know if they're off, and I'll
whack in a change and
I'll credit you for it.

The power chords without a vibrato mark should be struck powerfully
once, and then palm muted
until the next chord change - tabbing every palm-muted note is untidy
and unclear, and working
out a simple rhythm for yourselves is good practice. The chords with a
vibrato mark are the
chords in between the palm-muted chugged chords, and should get most of
the emphasis.

The slid power chords and pull-offs in between the palm-muted sections
are more noticable live,
so if you're struggling or they sound out then refer to some of the
many live performances
knocking around on the internet and see how Slash does them.

Slide back on for this, if you can! It's the same riff as the intro,
more or less, simply up a tone
in key.
